Liang Jieque felt a little uncomfortable after sitting for a long time. She stood up and moved her body, stretching her arms and shaking her legs.

Xue Ruitian glanced at Mei Lin and raised his eyebrows slightly. Mei Lin received the signal he sent and walked to Liang Jieque's side, pinching her shoulders twice to make her relax.

"Thank you so much." Liang Jieque smiled at Merlin, "That's what happens when you get older. If you stay in the same position for a long time, your body will easily become stiff, so you have to stand up and move around from time to time."

"If you are tired of sitting or feel uncomfortable, you can get up and walk." Xue Ruitian smiled at Liang Jieque, "We are the same. If we maintain the same posture for too long, we will feel uncomfortable. Let's get up and move too. Activities, take a walk.”

"Is it okay?" Liang Jieque looked at Xue Ruitian in surprise, "Is this... no problem?"

"No problem." Xue Ruitian waved his hand, "Don't be so careful. If you can see any secrets here, it can only be what we want you to see." He looked at Shen Zhonghe, "Yes Bar?"

Shen Zhonghe nodded, looked at Liang Jieque, and said with a smile, "If you see it, it will be a suspicion. You may have been careful in some way, so you should be careful."

Liang Jieque could probably understand what these two people meant and smiled at them. After Meilin finished squeezing her, she slowly walked around the tent twice and felt a lot more comfortable, but she didn't continue. Instead of sitting, find a place to lean on, wait until you feel tired from standing, and then sit back.

"You continue?"

"Okay! On the day of the accident, the weather was pretty good, sunny and windy. My second brother said that when he got up in the morning, he always felt flustered and vaguely uncomfortable. Later, I thought about it, these might be signs. Something bad might happen."

"But he didn't care, did he?"

"Yeah, it's just a fluster. It's not a big deal. He thought it might be because he was busy with homework those days and went to bed late at night, so he was tired. As long as he got a good rest, he should be fine."

"Are the classes at Bailu Academy early?"

"It's not particularly early, because some students live outside the city. If it's too early, these students can't even enter the city gate, which is not very good. In fact, the second brother doesn't get up early every day. Because he and Lu Yicheng live very close to the academy, they have plenty of time, and they don't have to go out in a hurry. "

"Living close by means that you can do whatever you want. I should have considered this when I chose to buy that yard."

"Yes!" Liang Jieque nodded, "When the second brother cleaned himself up, Lu Yicheng had already brought his things for class and ran over to the second brother. The two of them have been neighbors from the beginning. Let’s have breakfast together. It’s almost like a month in your house, and a month in my house, alternately.” She looked at everyone, explained, and said, “This is what my adoptive father and eldest brother requested. After all, Lu Yicheng is the second brother. There are only a few friends in Fucheng and we live close together. It’s quite lively to have dinner together.”

"Is this a disguised form of luring a wolf into the house?"

"It doesn't matter. I didn't think so much about it at the time. I just felt that the two of them were taking care of each other, and both families felt at ease."

"That's true." Jin Miaomiao nodded, "I guess I have never thought about what kind of waves a child can make no matter how capable he is?"

"Is such that."

"By the way, are there no adults in their house?"

"No." Liang Jieque shook her head gently, "When I followed my adoptive father, my eldest brother, and my eldest sister-in-law to visit my second brother in the provincial capital, I was also invited to play at Lu Yicheng's house. Among the young men of his age, there is only one aunt who is responsible for taking care of his daily life. This aunt is also from Fucheng. She cooks delicious food and works quickly. However, this aunt does not live in the small courtyard and is busy every night. After that, I went back to my home. My aunt’s house is not too far away, almost two streets away.” She smiled, “It’s just that my aunt is very reserved and doesn’t talk to people very much. I feel like her home is very special. "The desertedness."

"Then it is indeed better to eat together, otherwise it would be too lonely."

"Yes!" Liang Jieque sighed, "Then what happened at Bailu Academy, the family hired a few nursing homes, and the population increased." She thought for a while and said, "Second brother said , When Lu Yicheng came to the house that morning, he said a few words, but his mind was focused on the upcoming quiz at that time, and he didn't take Lu Yicheng's words to heart at all. "

"What did Lu Yicheng say?"

"The second brother said that when he entered the door, his expression was a little strange, and he was confused. After entering the yard, he did not close the door immediately, but looked around. He didn't know what he was looking at. After he came in, his expression was also a little worried. ”

"Worried?"

"Yes, just worried." Liang Jieque nodded, "The second brother said that Lu Yicheng's expression was very worried at that time. He thought that the other party was worried about the quiz, and even comforted him a few words, saying that if he failed in the exam once, it would not be a problem. It means he won't be able to do well in the test next time, but Lu Yicheng said that he was not worried about the quiz, but something else. At this time, breakfast was served, and the second brother asked him what happened. , when I went out in the morning, I felt that the atmosphere on the street was not right.”

"Going out in the morning?" Shen Zhonghe frowned slightly, "His yard is not far from the second uncle's yard, so there is no need to go to the street!"

"Unless it's windy, rainy or snowy, Lu Yicheng has to go out for a run every morning. This is agreed by the dean and the mountain chief. After all, the imperial examination lasts for three days, and all the food and accommodation are in that small Most people wouldn't be able to survive in the compartment if they didn't have particularly good physical strength. In fact, my second brother also ran there for a while, but found that it wasn't as enjoyable as practicing boxing at home, so he didn't go there much, only occasionally. When you get excited and want to stretch your muscles, you will run along.”

"That's true!" Shen Zhonghe nodded, "From childhood to palace examination, if you don't have good physical strength, you will never be able to carry it to the end."

"That's right." Liang Jieque looked at Shen Zhonghe and continued, "The second brother asked him why the atmosphere was wrong. He said that there were many people on the street that he had never seen before."

"How does he know that he is someone he has never seen before?" Yes, who haven’t you seen before?”

"The second brother also asked him the same thing. He said that the feeling is different if it is a strange businessman or a passer-by, and generally speaking, there are usually not so many people during the time when he goes out for a run. When he comes out to wander, it feels like..." "It's spot on." Xue Ruitian nodded, "This kid, Lu Yicheng, is really not simple. He is very observant and very careful, even if he has not received any special training. , I don’t quite believe it.”

"Looking at it now, there must be something wrong with Lu Yicheng, but we were all children at the time and couldn't notice it at all." Liang Jieque smiled bitterly and continued, "If we could have noticed it, it wouldn't be like this now. , isn’t it?”

"That's right." Xue Ruitian sighed, "What happened next?"

"The second brother said that he saw Lu Yicheng was really uneasy, so he asked him who he saw."

"Who did you see?"

"Lu Yicheng said that along the way, he saw sneaky people who looked like they were not serious people at first glance. Although they dressed up like ordinary people in the city, it was clear at a glance that they were not locals. Moreover, they were here. Wandering around the east city gate and not going inside."

"This..." Xue Ruitian thought for a while, "It's a bit like stepping on the spot."

"That's right, Lu Yicheng said that at the time, but the second brother thought that he was too worried. Whose gangsters came to raid the place early in the morning before dawn. Even if they wanted to rob, it would be under the dark wind of the moon. High night."

"Young Master Shen is right, but the places to visit are indeed during the day. At night, it's dark and you can't see anything." Jin Miaomiao yawned, "But come early in the morning It doesn't look like they are working at night. Did Lu Yicheng tell me how many people there are and where else they go besides the East City Gate?"

"The second brother didn't ask. I guess Lu Yicheng didn't look carefully either. He didn't dare to look carefully either. He hurried home after running and then joined the second brother." Liang Jieque sighed, "The second brother said , Lu Yicheng might have really seen something, and he was absent-minded while eating. After they had breakfast, they packed up and went out to Bailu Academy together. "

"Didn't you find anything along the way?"

"The second brother said that because of Lu Yicheng's reminder before, he also looked at the pedestrians on the road, but did not find any strange people. He secretly asked Lu Yicheng if he had seen him watching this morning. Lu Yicheng said he didn't see the group of people who arrived. The two children suspected that they might be overly worried, so they didn't take it to heart and entered the academy without talking to the dean and Shan. Let’s talk about it for a long time.”

"If I had said it, what happened later might not have happened." After Shen Zhonghe finished speaking, he shook his head slightly, "No, it will still happen, but it won't be so tragic."

"Yes." Xue Ruitian nodded, "There is a big difference between being prepared and not being prepared." He looked at Liang Jieque, who nodded in agreement, and asked, "What happened next?"

"Lu Yicheng was absent-minded all day long. After the first class in a daze, he ran over and told his second brother that he still felt something was not right. Should he tell the dean and the mountain chief? The second brother hesitated for a moment, although I don’t have any actual evidence, but I still have to say, don’t be afraid of 10,000, just be afraid of the eventuality.”

"That's right!" Xue Ruitian snapped his fingers, "I still have to say something."

"When they went to talk, it was actually too late." Liang Jieque shrugged, "They found the dean and the mountain chief and told Lu Yicheng everything they saw in the morning, before the dean and the mountain chief could react. When I came over, I could already hear the sounds of fighting coming from outside. In order to ensure the safety of the dean, mountain chief, gentlemen and students, the Academy hired skilled guards from the Escort Bureau. Just when they wanted to do it. When we realized why there was such chaos outside, one of the nurses ran over with blood on his face, startling several people. "

"This is already a fight, right?"

"Yes!" Liang Jieque nodded and Xue Ruitian nodded, "The nursing school told the dean and the mountain chief that a group of bandits came outside and had besieged the academy. They had already tried to send people to the government office and the east city gate for help. , I hope I can survive this period of time.”

"They robbed the academy in broad daylight. These bandits are so brave!" Shen Zhonghe touched his chin and looked at Xue Ruitian, "Master Hou, do you feel something is wrong?"

"Do you feel like you've thrown yourself into a trap?" Xue Ruitian glanced at Shen Zhonghe, then at Shen Haolin and Shen Cha. Seeing the doubtful expressions on everyone's faces, he chuckled, "It feels like they are They were about to sink their boats. They must have encountered some difficulties and either succeeded or sacrificed their lives for righteousness. Other than that, there is no way to explain why they did this. "

"There is another possibility, which is to demonstrate against the government."

"What should I say?" Shen Jiu looked at Shen Cha, "It's because I found that Fucheng is really not doing well, so..."

"Yes, they launched many attacks outside the city, and everyone who passed by was affected. Although the government sent soldiers to encircle and suppress them, they had little effect. The bandits may have figured out the capabilities of the soldiers, so they took the risk and chose Committing trouble in the city." Shen Cha looked at the other people, knocked on the table lightly, and said, "Did you notice how this group of people entered the city?"

"Yes, that's what I just wanted to say." Xue Ruitian looked at Shen Zhonghe and then at Liang Jieque, "Fucheng is close to the southern border anyway. To enter Fucheng, don't you need a road guide or identity document?"

"It is indeed not needed." Shen Zhonghe shook his head gently, "At least when I was still there, Fucheng was not needed. I know that many important towns are needed, but most of them are not needed. Ours Fucheng is one of them.”

"If it were normal times, this would be excusable, but at that time there were constant intrusions by rogues outside the city. If the guards at the city gate were not strict, it would be easy for someone to take advantage of them." Jin Jing sighed, "They It’s because they discovered this loophole that they were so brave. Otherwise, they wouldn’t even be able to enter the city gate.”

"It's possible that Master Lei wasn't that good at suppressing bandits at that time and didn't know what to do at all." Shen Zhonghe thought for a while and looked at Liang Jieque, "What happened later? Did Egret Academy resist it? When we got to the government office, Reinforcements?"

"I've been waiting for it." Liang Jieque sighed, "It's just not as timely as expected."

"why?"

"Because the government's reinforcements and the guards at the east city gate are entangled."
